Mortal Cultivator

The northern region is covered by biting winds and heavy snow all year round. At first glance, the rolling, towering mountains are like a winding dragon, crisscrossing here, giving people a sense of grandeur and mystery.

This place seems to be a forbidden area specially created by nature to hide countless secrets and crises, and ordinary people dare not easily set foot in it. However, in such a daunting area, a young man named Wang Lu resolutely embarked on his adventure.

Speaking of Wang Lu, although he is still an unknown little man in the world, he actually has extraordinary courage beyond the imagination of ordinary people and amazing strength.

Perhaps it is because of the strong desire for the unknown world deep in his heart that drives this young adventurer to bravely break into this mysterious and deadly northern region.

Wang Lu was wearing a black cloak, which was like the wings of a ghost in the dark night, dancing and fluttering wildly in the biting cold wind. The whistling wind could not shake him at all, but made the cloak more majestic.

He had long black hair that fell to his waist like a waterfall, soft and bright, as if it could absorb all the light around. This black hair was tightly bound behind his head by a plain but durable cloth strip, swaying gently with his movements, and from time to time a few strands of hair broke free from the bondage and flew freely in the wind.

Looking at his face again, two thick sword eyebrows flew diagonally into his temples, like two sharp swords piercing the sky; a pair of piercing star eyes were as deep as the sea, with sharp and firm eyes, revealing a kind of perseverance and courage that ordinary people could not achieve. When he stared into the distance, it seemed that he could penetrate the layers of fog and see the truth of all things in the world.

On his broad and solid back, he carried a long sword with a cold glow. The sword was slender and elegant, with a cold metallic luster that made people shudder.

The hilt of the sword was carefully inlaid with a blue gem, like the brightest star in the night sky, emitting a faint and charming light. This gem not only added a bit of mystery to the whole sword, but also symbolized the deep bond between Wang Lu and the sword.

It witnessed the countless hardships and obstacles that Wang Lu had experienced along the way, and accompanied him through one life-and-death moment after another. Whether facing powerful enemies or dangerous situations, Wang Lu never abandoned the sword, and the sword always loyally guarded its owner.

One day, Wang Lu came to a small town in the North Territory. The town was not big, but it was also very lively, with adventurers, merchants and some local residents coming and going. Wang Lu walked into a tavern, found a corner to sit down, and ordered a pot of wine and some food.

The tavern was filled with the smell of alcohol and noisy voices. The adventurers were talking about their experiences and some recent anecdotes in the Northern Territory.

"Have you heard? The Li family has become more and more arrogant recently." A bearded adventurer took a sip of wine and said.

"Humph, the Li family has a strong Dao Shaper sitting in charge, so naturally they don't take us seriously." Another adventurer said indignantly.

Wang Lu heard their conversation and his heart moved slightly. He had heard of the Li family before coming to the Northern Territory. This is a powerful family in the Northern Territory. There are many strong people in the family, especially the strong Dao Shaper who has achieved the first step of the Dao, which makes the Li family rampant in the Northern Territory.

After Wang Lu rested in the tavern for a night, he continued on his way. He was going to the depths of the Northern Territory to find a legendary rare herb. It is said that this herb can improve people's cultivation and is of great help to him in breaking through his current realm.

On the way, Wang Lu met a group of Li family children. These Li family children were dressed in gorgeous clothes, riding tall horses, and looked arrogant. Seeing Wang Lu alone, they wanted to tease him.

"Hey, kid, where are you from? Why don't you kneel down when you see someone from our Li family?" A Li family member shouted loudly.

Wang Lu frowned. He couldn't stand such bullies. "Why should I kneel? What about your Li family?"

"Humph, you are looking for death." The Li family member was angry and drew the sword from his waist and rushed towards Wang Lu.

Wang Lu sneered, dodged the opponent's attack easily. He drew the long sword behind him with his backhand and fought with the Li family member. Wang Lu's swordsmanship was exquisite, and each sword was accompanied by a sharp sword energy. After a few rounds, the Li family member was beaten back by Wang Lu.

Seeing this, the other Li family members drew their weapons and surrounded Wang Lu. Wang Lu was not afraid at all. He displayed his unique skills and moved freely among the crowd like lightning. For a moment, the Li family members were beaten to the ground by Wang Lu.

"Damn it, you dare to hurt our Li family, just wait, we won't let you go." A Li family member covered his wound and said viciously.

Wang Lu looked at them with disdain, and then continued on his way. He knew that he had offended the Li family, but he did not regret it. He had his own principles and would not bow to such evil forces.

However, Wang Lu underestimated the revenge of the Li family. When the Li family learned that their children were injured by an unknown person, they were furious. Especially the strong man who ordered to capture Wang Lu and cut him into pieces.

The Li family sent a large number of experts to search for traces of Wang Lu throughout the Northern Territory. While Wang Lu was on his way, he also felt a dangerous aura. He knew that the Li family would not give up, so he quickened his pace and ran towards the valley deep in the Northern Territory. That's where he got the information about the possible appearance of rare herbs. He hoped to get the herbs before the Li family found him, and then increase his strength to fight against the Li family.

A few days later, Wang Lu came to the valley. There is a mysterious atmosphere in the valley, surrounded by clouds and mist, and all kinds of strange flowers, plants and trees grow in it. Wang Lu carefully searched for herbs in the valley.

Suddenly, he felt a powerful force coming towards him. He turned around quickly and saw a figure appearing in front of him. This man was wearing a white robe, with gray hair, and a look of majesty in his eyes. He is none other than the powerful Taoist of the Li family, Li Changtian.

"Boy, I finally found you. How dare you offend my Li family, you really don't know how to live or die." Li Changtian said coldly.

Wang Lu clenched the sword in his hand. He knew that the enemy in front of him was very powerful, but he would not back down. "You, the Li family, have done many evil things. I just taught your children a lesson. What's wrong with you?"

"Huh, in the Northern Territory, my Li family is the king. If you hurt someone from my Li family, you are making an enemy of my Li family." Li Changtian said, a powerful aura burst out from his body, and he pressed towards Wang Lu. come over.

Wang Lu felt the powerful momentum, as if a huge mountain was pressing on him. But he gritted his teeth and used the spiritual power in his body to resist the pressure. He used his strongest swordsmanship and attacked Li Changtian.

Li Changtian smiled contemptuously, and with a wave of his sleeves, he defused Wang Lu's attack. Then he stretched out a hand and grabbed Wang Lu. His hand turned into a huge claw and rushed towards Wang Lu with a fierce aura.

Wang Lu quickly dodged, but the claw was too fast and his shoulder was still scratched. Blood streamed from his shoulder, but he didn't give up. He knew that if he backed down now, he would die.

He took out a healing elixir from his storage ring, drank it, and then attacked Li Changtian again. He performed a new sword technique, which was a sword technique secret book that he accidentally obtained during an adventure, but he never had the chance to perform it. Facing a powerful enemy this time, he decided to give it a try.

The new sword technique was unleashed, and the surrounding air seemed to be stirred up. Streams of sword energy shot towards Li Changtian like meteors. Li Changtian was slightly shocked. He didn't expect Wang Lu to have such means. He did not dare to be careless and used all his strength to resist Wang Lu's attack.

The battle between the two became more intense, and the flowers, plants and trees in the valley were destroyed in the aftermath of their battle. There were some tiny cracks in the surrounding space, showing the intensity of the battle.

Although Wang Lu is brave, there is a huge gap in strength between him and Li Changtian. After a long battle, his spiritual power was gradually exhausted and his body was injured in many places. Although Li Changtian also consumed some spiritual power, he still had an absolute advantage.

"Boy, why don't you give up? There's no way you can defeat me." Li Changtian looked at the exhausted Wang Lu and said.

"I won't give up, even if I die, I will fight you." Wang Lu said firmly.

Just when Li Changtian was about to give Wang Lu the final blow, suddenly, a strange light appeared in the valley. The light contained a powerful force and shot toward Li Changtian. Li Changtian hurriedly avoided, but was still hit by the light and suffered some minor injuries.

"Who? How dare you sneak attack me." Li Changtian roared angrily.

I saw an old man walking out of the light. The old man was wearing a gray robe and holding a cane. He looked at Li Changtian and said: "Li Changtian, as a strong Taoist, you bully a junior, don't you think it's embarrassing?"

"Huh, who are you? Dare to interfere with my Li family's affairs." Li Changtian asked.

"I am the guardian of the ancient Taoist world. If you commit murder under my eyes, I cannot ignore it," the old man said.

Li Changtian was shocked. He knew that the strength of the guardians of the ancient world was unfathomable. He did not dare to tangle with the old man anymore, so he said: "You are lucky today, don't let me meet you again next time." After that, he left the valley with the Li family.

Wang Lu breathed a sigh of relief and said to the old man: "Thank you, senior, for saving your life."

The old man looked at Wang Lu and said with a smile: "You have courage, but your strength is still too weak. Take the herbs in this valley. I hope you can improve your strength and contribute to the ancient world in the future."

Wang Lu was so grateful that he found rare herbs in the valley, and then practiced in seclusion in a secret place. After a period of practice, his strength has been greatly improved. He knew that the feud with the Li family was not over yet. He needed to become stronger in order to survive in the Northern Territory, to compete with the Li family, and to seek justice for those who were oppressed by the Li family.

After the retreat, Wang Lu embarked on the journey again. His eyes were firmer and his aura was stronger. He walked in the direction of the Li family. A new storm was about to set off in the northern region of the ancient world.

While Wang Lu was on his way, he continued to hone his sword skills and spiritual power control. He knew that facing such a powerful enemy as the Li family, he could not slack off at all. He encountered some small groups of Li family forces, but he easily eliminated them all. These battles gave him a clearer understanding of his own strength, and also gave him a better understanding of the Li family's methods.

After the Li family learned that not only was Wang Lu not killed, but his strength had greatly increased, they also stepped up their guard. Li Changtian even arranged the defense himself, and he vowed to put Wang Lu to death.

Wang Lu arrived at the edge of the Li family's territory, which was heavily guarded. But he did not back down. He used a technique to conceal his aura and quietly sneaked into the Li family's territory. In the Li family's territory, he saw the luxury and tyranny of the Li family. Ordinary people live in dire straits and are squeezed by the Li family.

Wang Lu was filled with anger, and he decided to rescue these people first. He found the Li family's granary and treasure house, and distributed the food and treasures inside to the people. The people were grateful to Wang Lu, and they expressed their willingness to help Wang Lu fight against the Li family.

The Li family soon discovered Wang Lu's actions, and Li Changtian led the Li family's masters to surround Wang Lu. "Boy, how dare you come to my Li family to cause trouble? You won't be able to escape this time."

Wang Lu looked at Li Changtian and said, "Your Li family has done many evil things. I am here today to seek justice for these people."

The two sides once again started a fierce battle. This time, Wang Lu came prepared, and he dealt with the masters of the Li family. His sword skills are even more powerful, and each sword can severely damage the enemy. The people were also cheering for him, which filled Wang Lu with strength.

Li Changtian felt very angry when he saw Wang Lu taking to himself among the crowd. He decided to take action himself. He used his own unique skill and attacked Wang Lu. Wang Lu felt tremendous pressure, but he did not back down. He and Li Changtian faced off again, and the battle between the two shocked the entire Li family territory.

During the battle, Wang Lu discovered a flaw in Li Changtian. He seized the opportunity and unleashed his strongest attack, attacking Li Changtian's weakness. Li Changtian didn't expect Wang Lu to be able to find his flaw. He quickly evaded, but was still hit by Wang Lu. He was seriously injured and spurted out a mouthful of blood.

The masters of the Li family suddenly panicked when they saw Li Changtian was injured. Wang Lu took advantage of the victory to pursue and led the people to launch the final attack on the Li family. After a fierce battle, the Li family was defeated, and the children of the Li family who oppressed the people were punished as they deserved.

Wang Lu became a hero in the Northern Territory, and his name spread throughout the ancient world. He used his actions to bring hope to the people, and also deterred those evil-doing forces from acting recklessly. In the days that followed, Wang Lu continued to take risks in the ancient world, guarding the peace and justice of this land.

The howling wind, like crying, seems to be telling the cruel story that is about to unfold on this land. Wang Lu, dressed in rags and covered in blood, was trying his best to escape in the ice and snow. Behind him were the Li family's pursuers, and in the more distant Li family's ancestral land, the Li family's ancestor's angry eyes seemed to cross space and lock on him.

Wang Lu staggered a little, and every step left a deep footprint on the snow, mixed with blood. His face was as pale as paper and his lips were chapped, but his eyes were burning with unyielding fire. He never thought that he would get into trouble with a behemoth like the Li family just by exploring a historical site in the Northern Territory. The treasures in the ancient ruins were supposed to be ownerless things, but the Li family regarded them as private property. His resistance became an unforgivable sin in the eyes of the Li family.

The Li family's pursuers were getting closer and closer. They were riding ferocious snow wolves at extremely fast speeds. Wang Lu knew very well that once they caught up with him, he would fall into a place of no return. He gritted his teeth, mobilized the remaining spiritual power in his body, and rushed towards a valley ahead. The valley is shrouded in fog all the year round, and perhaps the terrain can be used to escape the pursuers.

However, as soon as Wang Lu stepped into the valley, a powerful pressure descended from above his head. He looked up and saw a huge figure appearing in the sky, that was the ancestor of the Li family. The ancestor of the Li family has gray hair, but his face is as tight as a young man, and his eyes are shining with a cold light. He stretched out a hand and slapped Wang Lu hard with his huge spiritual palm. The momentum seemed to crush the entire valley.

Wang Lu desperately raised the sword in his hand and tried to resist. But there was a huge difference in strength between the two. He was hit by the spiritual palm and was blasted to the ground like a cannonball. With a "boom", a large pit was blown out of the ground. Wang Lu was lying in the pit, blood flowing out of his seven orifices, and his consciousness gradually became blurred. He felt as if his body was penetrated by countless steel needles, and his internal organs were severely damaged.

Just when the ancestor of the Li family was about to give Wang Lu the final blow, suddenly, a brilliant light flashed across the sky like a shooting star. The light contained a mysterious and powerful force, rushing directly towards the ancestor of the Li family. The ancestor of the Li family felt threatened by this force and had to turn around and deal with it.

After the light dissipated, an old man exuding a strange aura appeared. He was the Heavenly Demon Ancestor. The Heavenly Demon Ancestor is tall and muscular, with a pair of curved horns on his head and eyes like deep pools. "Old man of the Li family, don't you think it's embarrassing for the big one to bully the small ones?" The voice of the ancestor of Tianyao echoed in the valley like a bell.

The ancestor of the Li family snorted coldly: "Tian Yao, don't meddle in other people's business. This kid has offended my Li family and must die." The ancestor of the Tian Yao looked up to the sky and laughed: "When will it be your Li family's turn in this ancient world? I have the final say? I can save this kid." After saying that, the Heavenly Demon Ancestor flashed and came to Wang Lu's side. He waved his sleeves gently, and a soft force enveloped Wang Lu, temporarily stabilizing him. his injuries.

The Li family ancestor was furious when he saw this. He used the Li family's unique skill "Zhentian Jue". The spiritual power gathered around him into powerful shock waves and attacked Tianyao ancestor and Wang Lu. Tianyao ancestor was not in a hurry. He muttered something and formed complex seals with his hands. A demon power shield appeared in front of him. The shock wave hit the shield, making a deafening explosion. The whole valley was shaking. The boulders on the surrounding peaks rolled down and the snow collapsed.

Tianyao ancestor took advantage of the gap between Li family ancestor's attacks, picked up Wang Lu, and turned into a stream of light to escape from the valley. How could Li family ancestor give up? He chased after him. In the sky, two rays of light chased each other one after the other, cutting through the sky of the northern region.

Tianyao ancestor brought Wang Lu to a mysterious forest. There were many ancient trees growing in this forest, and strange runes flashed on the trees, as if it was a natural barrier. The Heavenly Demon Ancestor placed Wang Lu next to a hot spring in the forest. The hot spring exuded a strong breath of life, which helped to heal his wounds.

Wang Lu had fallen into a deep coma at this time. His injuries were too serious. The Heavenly Demon Ancestor looked at Wang Lu and murmured to himself: "Boy, what is so special about you that is worth me being an enemy of the Li family for you." After that, he began to cast an ancient healing spell, his hands constantly wandering on Wang Lu's body, slowly injecting his demonic power into Wang Lu's body to repair his damaged meridians and organs.

After the Heavenly Demon Ancestor's treatment, Wang Lu's injuries improved slightly, but he was still unconscious. The Heavenly Demon Ancestor knew that this was not a place to stay for a long time, and the Li family's ancestor would find it sooner or later. He decided to take Wang Lu to his secluded place-the Demon Spirit Valley.

On the way to the Demon Spirit Valley, the Heavenly Demon Ancestor carefully concealed his breath and avoided the eyes of the Li family. They crossed steep mountains and turbulent rivers, and encountered various dangers along the way, but the Heavenly Demon Ancestor relied on his powerful strength to overcome the dangers.

Finally, they came to the Demon Spirit Valley. The Demon Spirit Valley is surrounded by powerful prohibitions, and the valley is full of birdsong and flowers, full of rich spiritual energy and demonic power. The Heavenly Demon Ancestor placed Wang Lu in a cave in the valley, where there are various precious healing herbs and spiritual objects.

The Heavenly Demon Ancestor continued to heal Wang Lu, and day after day, Wang Lu's injuries gradually stabilized. After being unconscious for several days, Wang Lu finally slowly opened his eyes. He looked at the unfamiliar environment around him, was startled, and wanted to get up, but found that his body was weak and powerless.

"You're awake, kid." The voice of the Heavenly Demon Ancestor came from the side. Wang Lu looked at the Heavenly Demon Ancestor, his eyes full of doubts and gratitude: "Senior, was it you who saved me?" The Heavenly Demon Ancestor nodded: "You have provoked the Li family, which is really a hornet's nest. If it weren't for me, you would have died long ago."

Wang Lu smiled bitterly: "I just don't want to be bullied by them. The treasures in the ancient monument should not have belonged to them." The Heavenly Demon Ancestor smiled: "You have backbone, but you are still too weak now. The Li family will not let you go easily. You have to practice hard and improve your strength."

During the days in the Demon Valley, Wang Lu began to practice hard under the guidance of the Heavenly Demon Ancestor. Every day, he absorbed spiritual energy in the valley, took precious herbs, and practiced swordsmanship and the use of spiritual power. The Heavenly Demon Ancestor also taught him some unique magic arts, which combined with his spiritual power made his strength grow by leaps and bounds.

However, the good times did not last long. The Li family ancestor found clues to the Demon Valley through various means. He led a group of masters from the Li family and rushed to the Demon Valley. The Heavenly Demon Patriarch sensed the aura of the Li family, and he knew that a war was inevitable.

"Wang Lu, the people of the Li family are here, are you ready to fight?" The Heavenly Demon Patriarch looked at Wang Lu and said. Wang Lu clenched his fists: "Senior, I'm not afraid, at worst I can die with them." The Heavenly Demon Patriarch shook his head: "We can't die together, we have to live and let the Li family know that we are not easy to mess with."

The Li family ancestor and others came to the outside of the Demon Valley, and they tried to break through the ban and enter the valley. The Heavenly Demon Patriarch stood at the entrance of the valley and looked at them coldly: "Old man Li, you are really haunting." The Li family ancestor sneered: "Heavenly Demon, hand over that kid, I can spare your life." The Heavenly Demon Patriarch laughed: "If you want this kid, step over my body."

After that, the Heavenly Demon Patriarch took the lead in launching an attack. He used powerful magic, and countless demons poured out of the valley and pounced on the people of the Li family. The ancestor of the Li family also commanded the Li family masters to fight back. For a moment, the spiritual power and demonic power outside the Demon Valley intertwined, and explosions continued.
